FORMS OF PRAYER Then this Collect.
ALMIGHTY God, the Sovereign Commander of all the world, in whose hand is power and might which none is able to withstand; We bless and magnify thy great and glorious Name for this happy Victory, the whole glory whereof we do ascribe to thee, who art the only giver of Victory. And, we beseech thee, give us grace to improve this great mercy to thy glory, the advancement of thy Gospel, the honour of our Sovereign, and,
At the Burial of their Dead at Sea. The Office in the Common Prayer- book may be used; only instead of these words [ We therefore commit his body to the ground, earth to earth,& c.] say,
as much as in us lieth, to the good WE therefore commit his body
of all mankind. And, we beseech thee, give us such a sense of this great mercy, as may engage us to a true thankfulness, such as may appear in our lives by an humble, holy, and obedient walking before thee all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom with thee and the Holy Spirit, as for all thy mercies, so in particular for this Victory and
to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body,( when the Sea shall give up her dead,) and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who at his coming shall change our vile body, that it may be like his glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.
